There is a tough competition between Casey Affleck for his outstanding performance as a Boston janitor deliberated by depression, anger and sorrow in Lonergan’s Manchester by the Sea’ and Denzel Washington for his role in ‘Fences’ as an ex-baseball slugger who played for Pittsburgh and was then turned to a garbage man. Next in line is Joel Edgerton for playing Richard Loving in Jeff Nichols’ movie ‘Loving’.
